See: Watchet Harbor dredging begins next week - Dredging Today

Blimey...an exam question! My answers are: - I am not familiar with the history. Dredging is permissible under the Harbour Act and where there is no Act with a competent authority via a licence. - WID - Water Injection Dredging technique liquifies or rolls material through the application of...

It nearly never does. The process moves the material into suspension and the energy levels required for dispursion are low. The process gently reverses what nature brought in in the first place. The scale of the channel outside say Watchet means the material evacuated is tiny and is taken away...

The vessels have a 3D echo sounder plotter to assist the crew and maximise efficiency. No point re-dredging an area where the target depth has been attained.

Compacted material is not usually a problem. It is a question of time and pressure only. There is little around Watchet that wouldn't be removed down to bedrock.

The Harbour Management team works within the Cardiff Marine Services (CMS) business. This in turn is a subsidiary of The Marine & Property Group Ltd. Information can be found here: http://themarinegroup.co.uk/app/uploads/2020/02/Harbour-Management.pdf

This is after three tidal cycles only clearing a channel through to the outer slipway (as required). Approx 1 metre of silt removed. This is CMS Innovation which will remove up to 150 m3 / hour of material. CMS Seaka (our larger dredger) boasts huge power (up to 8 bars of pressure across a...

The vessel has now been raised and has left the marina.

Yes...a large old vessel has sunk due to issues with its own integrity. Staff were on the scene within minutes (it was picked up by the CCTV system) a protective boom placed around the vessel and will be raised in due course.

Karen, I'd welcome the chance to see if we can help. We ( www.cardiffmarina.com ) work closely with a number of charities. I have sent you a private message. Thanks

I understand visitors during the period from Friday 16th March- Sunday 1st April will benefit from 50% rate reduction. So the above example would be £45 for the week. I hope this helps

Cardiff Marina will assemble an offer to help. As I cannot be too commercial here please make contact with the office or via website www.cardiffmarinegroup.com
